The CHARLOTTE CHRONICLE AND AsHE.

The above journal. unlike some of OF

it speaks and feels like true North Car.

always look at each other. We quote
with pleasure what the Chronicle sayl
about us:
The Chronicle takes great pride in not

thoroughly North Carolinian, if anything
and nothing pleases us more than to see
the Sgood old State pushing forward in

profit to all concerned.
